Jubilee Insurance Holdings

Jubilee Insurance Company started its insurance operations in Mombasa, Kenya where it inaugurated an office in 1937.

ABNICThe first life insurance policies were underwritten in 1938. In 1952, the company commenced its international expansion by getting established in Mauritius. Tanzania was the second foreign country where the new insurer settled. Not until 1968 did Jubilee move in Nairobi where it inaugurated its head office.

There commences the construction of a genuine group with the establishment of Jubilee Insurance Holdings (JIH), still based in Nairobi. This entity now gathers all of the stakes of Jubilee in Africa and in which Kenya, alone, accounts approximately for 63% of the premiums.

Nowadays, Jubilee Insurance Holdings is one of the most important financial service groups operating in East Africa, the Indian Ocean and in the Indian sub-continent.

By the end of 2015, JIH’s turnover amounted to 300 million USD with assets of approximately 820 million USD and a shareholder’s equity of 203 million USD. Jubilee Insurance Kenya, the group’s flagship, stands, by far, as the first non life insurer of the Kenyan market.
